A slide show from our bachelor thesis presentation. Its main focus is interoperability in health care and how interoperability issues can be addressed by open standardization.

1. Interoperability in
Health care
Information Systems

2. Agenda
• Background & problem
• Our research and strategy
• Summary and reflections

3. Background
• Value-based Health care
• Big data
• Internet of Things
• Previous studies
• RQ1. What are the interoperability drivers in HISs?
• RQ2. To what extent can the implementation of
interoperability characteristics defined in open standards
improve the flow of information in HISs?

4. Interoperability in health care

5. Interoperability
"Interoperability is the ability of multiple systems to use each
others services effectively“ (Pokraev, 2009), pp. 19.
• Technical interoperbility
• Semantic interoperbility
• Process interoperbility

6. Open standards
• “A standard is an agreed, repeatable way of doing something.
It is a published document that contains a technical
specification or other precise criteria designed to be used
consistently as a rule, guideline, or definition.” The British
Standard Institution.
• Open standard requirements

7. Research strategy
• Case study
• Västra Götalandsregionen, Region Halland and Region Skåne
• Respondents
• Data analysis
• Generalizability

8. RQ1: Interoperability drivers
Software architectural design:
• Objectives
• Constraints

9. RQ2: Open standard
characteristics
• Technical
• Semantic
• Process
